"Taliban officials and supporters have begun to sign up to Twitter’s paid-for verification service, meaning blue tick marks appear on their accounts. For years Twitter has controversially allowed the Taliban to post on its site, though without an official-looking blue tick. By paying for Twitter Blue, which launched in December 2022, the jihadists may also benefit from priority ranking in search, mentions and replies."
